800% spike in ICE attacks blamed on ‘radical left’ by agency director

BY BRADLEY DEVLIN | THE DAILY SIGNAL https://youtu.be/61QbHhHtVY0?feature=shared This article is a preview of Politics Editor Bradley Devlin’s interview with acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons on “The Signal Sitdown.” Watch the full episode on YouTube by clicking on the video above. Two months ago, violent riots broke out in America’s second-largest city after immigration enforcement officers served legal warrants, signed by a judge, to individuals in this country illegally.  The rioters, which the media assured you were “mostly peaceful,” laid siege to federal buildings, attacked law enforcement officers, lit cop cars on fire, and looted businesses for days—all while flying the flag of a foreign country. Of course, we’re talking about the Los...

Minary: Why merit beats seniority and DEI in hiring and leadership

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice With the federal debt now topping $35 trillion, it’s clear there’s too much fraud, waste, abuse, corruption, redundancy, reckless spending and status quo. Change is in order. In Jan. 2025, Pres. Trump issued an Executive Order entitled: “Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing” which introduced MERITOCRACY into the system.  A lot of people applauded the change and others reacted negatively.   MERIT is a good thing. The dictionary defines MERIT as: 1) Superior quality or worth; 2)  Quality deserving praise or approval; 3) Virtue and demonstrated ability or achievement.  Those qualities are all good when you’re looking for a surgeon, banker, financial advisor, employee, m...

By Randy DeSoto | The Western Journal Apple CEO Tim Cook announced at the White House on Wednesday that his company will be investing an additional $100 billion in the U.S. economy, on top of the $500 billion it previously committed to invest over the next four years.

Cook noted that his company has recently entered into agreements with 10 U.S. companies to build Apple component parts. “I’m proud to say that Apple is leading the cr...

United Flights Resume After Grounding Thousands Over Tech Glitch

By Shivani Tanna and Rajesh Kumar Singh | The Gazette CHICAGO (Reuters) -United Airlines said a technology issue that led to a grounding of its flights for a few hours at U.S. airports and major delays across its network on Wednesday had been resolved. "While we expect residual delays, our team is working to restore our normal operations," the airline said. The technology issue prompted ground stops at several major United hub airports including Newark, Denver, Houston, and Chicago, according to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's website. United said the problem related to its Unimatic system that houses information about each flight that is then fed to other systems, including those that calculate weight and balance and track flight times. As of 10:25 p.m. ET (0225 ...

KELLY: Former Trump Critics Face Reckoning as Lawfare Backfires

By Julie Kelly | Commentary, Declassified with Julie Kelly Perpetrators of the destructive decade-long lawfare against Trump, his family, his advisors, and his supporters thought he would end up in jail, not back in the Oval Office. Now they're sweating. MAGAland is cautiously optimistic that someone—anyone—finally will face consequences for unleashing the most destructive, deceptive, and costly abuse of government power against a single political figure and his movement in American history. This week, the Department of Justice ramped up investigations into the origins and extension of the Russiagate hoax amid new disclosures that give greater clarity as to exactly what went down in 2016 when top Obama officials, including the sitting president himself, conceived plans to sabotag...

Joondeph: Woke critics fumbled while American Eagle cashed in

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker When American Eagle launched its fall campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney with the cheeky tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” the expected outrage frenzy was immediate.  In the ad, the 27-year-old actress says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.” YouTube screengrab // fair use It’s a pun, a play on the words genes and jeans, as even the Los Angeles Times acknowledged.  Critics accused the spot of echoing eugenic or white supremacist rhetoric because Sweeney is blonde, blue-eyed, and framed as genetically “blue.” Some even labeled it “Nazi propaganda." ...

Russia hoax was the strategy: Clinton greenlit Trump smear to deflect from her email scandal during 2016 run

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice Newly declassified documents and insider testimony has started to change how people view the whole Trump–Russia narrative. At the heart of it all is a 2017 intelligence report that claimed Vladimir Putin meddled in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win.  For years, it was treated as fact. But now, that conclusion is being questioned both by former officials and documents that never saw daylight until recently. Among the most telling pieces of evidence are internal emails suggesting Hillary Clinton signed off on a plan to push the Russia angle, not because it was true, but to take heat off her own email troubles. That Intelligence Community Assessment, or ICA, released just two weeks before Trump’s inauguration, s...

Hancock: The beauty of balance between urgency, authority and the republic

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack Reclaiming the Wisdom of a System Built for Both Crisis and Constraint One of the most brilliant features of the U.S. Constitution is its recognition of human nature—not just in its vices, but in its limitations. The framers didn’t just aim to prevent tyranny; they aimed to build a system that could govern well even though no institution—or person—is omniscient or omnipotent. It’s a humility baked into the structure. That’s why Congress makes the laws, and the President executes them—two separate powers working together. But what the Constitution also quietly acknowledges is that not every problem can be solved by committee. In a world where markets shift overnight, threats emerge in real time, and global actors often cheat the syste...

Mexican-Linked Group Pressures U.S. Banks to Lend to Illegal Immigrants

By Spencer Lindquist | The Daily Wire A far-left organization partnered with financial institutions, activist groups, and the Mexican consulate to push banks to offer mortgage loans to illegal aliens and “protect undocumented immigrants.” Rise Economy, a leftist organization formerly called the California Reinvestment Coalition, was behind a report advocating for mortgage loans to be made available to illegal aliens who obtain an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), a financial tool that often enables illegals to obtain home and auto loans. The report indicates that the marketing and distribution of loans to illegal aliens, which The Daily Wire has documented extensively, may in part be the result of leftwing ideology and activism ra...

DEVINE: Democrats Brace as Russiagate Cover-Up Unravels in Public View

By Miranda Devine | Commentary, New York Post Despite the best efforts of Russiagate-complicit media to dismiss as “Russian disinformation” the latest revelations in this escalating scandal implicating President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the treasonous “years-long coup” against President Trump, the public is paying attention and wants heads to roll. According to a Rasmussen poll released Monday, nearly two-thirds of voters (65%) are following declassified releases over the past month by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) “very closely” (32%) or “somewhat closely” (33%), repudiating the calculated media silence about the Obama administration’s fake narratives and manipulation of intelligence to frame Trump as a Kremlin ...
